    5.0 out of 5 stars Very strong adhesive tape - 3M is the real deal
    Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2023
    I purchased this 3M product to bond some 0.040 aluminum strips to the aluminum trim on my camper project to finish the weather seal.

    This stuff is amazing. The bond is quick so you had better get your parts lined up right the first time. If not, good luck getting them apart intact.

    Overall I am very impressed. With proper surface prep and the right temps you will be very impressed.

    Buy genuine 3M for the best results. Lots of knock off brands out there...look like 3M but aren't. Your results may vary.
